Street Life

by

Angela Bean

Children raised up
get out of the house and smoke up
cause and effect
ain't get no respect
been classified
lived life on the streets and then died
say ya need counselin'
fuck dem' they don't know shit
ain't nothing a physchiatrist can tell ya, thatcha' don't know
what, they think ya a damn fool
cuz, when ya quit school
wanna get the hell out
lock up, in a cell bout'
no where to go
runnin' from the cops
on the go
a warrant for ya arrest
